We hope you will be able to make it that night but, if not, we can mail a signed copy or hold one here at the store for pick-up.Like its predecessor, Writing Mormon History, this book delves into the captivating narratives of multiple historians as they unfold the backstories of their various publishing endeavors. The authors detail their journeys in crafting influential books, articles, newspaper pieces, and anthologies that have significantly shaped our comprehension of Mormon history. Beyond the polished final products that readers typically encounter, the book explores the driving forces compelling authors to explore their topics and the sacrifices they make along the way.
The volume invites readers to ponder the motivations that fuel an author’s commitment to rigorous research and writing, and sheds light on the substantial time, ranging from minutes to long hours, invested in the sources they cite. Through these narratives, readers gain an appreciation for the dedication and passion that goes into the making of historical scholarship.
Whether you're an avid historian, a student of history, a scholar, or an aspiring author, Writing Mormon History 2 offers an important glimpse into the minds of these writers. This anthology provides a unique opportunity to connect with the human stories behind the academic works that have left an indelible mark on our understanding of Mormon history.
